Hong Kongers warned to expect a Holy Commotion as Batman films

Nov 2, 2007, 10:10 GMT

Hong Kong - Hong Kong residents have been warned to expect a week of noisy evenings as a low-flying aircraft and helicopter film scenes for the new Batman movie, a news report said Friday. Thousands of letters have been sent out by the film's production company telling residents that a helicopter and a C130 aircraft will swoop low over downtown areas to film the city's evening skyline. The letter says the sound level will be similar to that of buses and promises that the production company will do all it can to 'restore tranquillity ... as early as possible.' The Hollywood movie, featuring Batman in his first scenes shot outside of mythical Gotham City, will be filmed in Hong Kong from November 6 to 12, the South China Morning Post reported. A major outdoor stunt for the Warner Bros movie, titled The Dark Knight, is to be filmed at the International Finance Centre (IFC) complex while the Peninsula Hotel will be used for other scenes. Stars Christian Bale and Morgan Freeman, but not Michael Caine who plays butler Alfred, will travel to Asia for the shoot during which IMAX cameras will be used for the first time in Hong Kong. © 2007 dpa - Deutsche Presse-Agentur
